Plane Crashes at San Francisco Airport

Really low number of casualties. Pretty amazin actually considering the damage.

60+ are unaccounted for, not injured. More blood on the hands of the Black Prince. His reign will drown in it.

Ok, that one actually amused me a bit.

so where did the unaccounted people go? Just left on their own accord before being counted or burned alive?

or raptured?

Only one missing now. Really remarkable.

Yea it is pretty amazing how the planes look after accidents that people survive.

Kinda shocked so many people survived that. Was the pilot a Korean Woman?

Yeah I have no clue how only 2 people died and so many were unhurt from that. The wreckage looks bad and the plane supposedly rolled several times on the runway.

I will forever more tighten my seatbelt when the light comes on.

Do we know who this pilot is yet? Did he Eff it up, or was he heroically saving everyone from some malfunction or other?

Supposedly clipped the sea wall with the tail (which removed the tail) on a too short approach at roughly a 45 degree angle. Maybe the pilot watched Space Cowboys the night before and decided to "tap the brakes" a bit on the approach.

More shocking news than the plane crash: this guy actually watched Space Cowboys

I'm guessing the reason there aren't a ton of deaths is because the plane was doing a standard landing, which means it was slowing its airspeed down a lot and was oriented in a way so the belly was facing downwards.

If SF's runway had been a treadmill, would the plane have landed?

Are there landings where the belly does not face downwards? I'm just imagining what the captains announcement would sound like. "Shit's too fucked. We have to land on the roof. Everyone hang tight!" Wouldn't you call landing on the wing a crash?

Other than that, surprisingly less lethal plane crash. Hooray for the goodguys.

Er, to make it better/worse, the autopsies suggest that one of the dead may have actually been killed by being run over by one of the emergency vehicles responding to the crash...
